STANWELL Selected Briar 78

Denmark, 1960s

A very nice lightweight and rare Stanwell pipe from the registration era. The shape number 78 was created by unsurpassed Siksten Ivarsson in 1950s. But since there is a crown on the stem, then the pipe was made a bit later, in 1960s. Usually Stanwell offered all shapes both with smooth and sandblasted finish, but the 78th was only smooth and was not produced anymore after the registration period. Thus the pipe is a real rarity, moreover it’s the “hand made” of “selected briar”!

The pipe markings are “STANWELL \ REGD. № 969-48 \ HAND MADE”, “MADE IN DENMARK”, “SELECTED BRIAR \ 78”. The length is 14.0 cm, bowl’s hight is 4.1 cm. External dimensions of the bowl are 3.2 x 4.2 cm, internal diameter is 1.8 cm. The depth is 3.2 cm and this pipe weights 31 gr. Briar, vulcanite stem, no filter. The chamber has been protected with the break-in coat.

Denmark 1950-60s A really exceptional Stanwell freehand pipe from the registration era! The registration number was assigned to Stanwell in 1948 and was stamped on Stanwell pipes until the beginning of the 1970s. The pipe doesn’t bear any shape number what is very uncommon for Stanwell. Absence of this number may mean that the pipe…

Denmark, 1960s An old and well-preserved Stanwell pipe that we can date fairly accurately.

At the same time, the crowned S on the mouthpiece appeared around 1960, so the pipe can be safely…

Denmark, 1960s An absolutely convincing and collectable large Stanwell chimney pipe from the registration era (1948 – early 1970s). The crowned “S” on the stem was introduced around 1960 so the pipe can be dated by the 1960s.
